Hi peeps, I've not been here for a couple of days so here's what I've been doing training wise. I managed a swim on Friday after work, however, I was left 700 mtrs short due to "IT" turning up whilst putting my fins on and I will say that on this occasion, the pain was fucking excruciating. Sometimes, the pain is so intense, I just want to cry. Honestly, it get to that point sometimes and it is really starting to get me down.

So Fridays swim was:

200m free warm up
100m one arm (arm by side)
100m one arm ( arm out front)
100m long dog
200m technique swim - concentrating on a hard pull under the water
6x 50m aerobic :15 sec rest/50m
300m paddle swim - no pull buoy
Total 1300 mtrs

Todays swim was much better, although having said that, I felt like I had been on the piss all night and smoked about 2 packets of cigarettes in the process, as my breathing felt like shit. Got through the session without cramp however and that was just brilliant. Here's what we did:

200m warm up
100m one arm100m long dog
Main Set: 100m steady :20 rest + 50m HARD :30 rest x6 = 900m
500m paddle & pull buoy - hypoxic breathing every 2nd stroke x25m & every4th stroke x25m - for whole 500m
8x 50m HARD :15 rest
TOTAL: 2200m

I've actually just returned from the gym about 15 minutes ago, having done what I was supposed to do last night, but couldn't be arsed and ended up watching Jackass 2 on the telly. I had seen it before, but they just do crazy, stupid shit that's funny, because it is so crazy and stupid.
